Assimilation and rejection of French philosophy in Germany. The reception of Manfred Frank : romanticism, hermeneutics, and deconstruction

Abstract

1 recurso en línea (páginas 37-67).El ensayo pretende reconstruir los debates filosóficos franco-alemanes de los años 80. La llegada del pensamiento francés de Derrida, Foucault, Lacan, etc., generó en la filosofía alemana la polaridad asimilación-rechazo. Sostenemos que dicha polaridad es producto del rechazo o integración de las propias tradiciones alemanas que los autores franceses poseen. En consecuencia, creemos que son claves las obras de Manfred Frank sobre el pensamiento francés para entender tanto el debate como sus derivaciones en las discusiones sobre modernidad-posmodernidad, sujeto-no-sujeto, deconstrucción-hermenéutica, racionalidad-irracionalidad.This essay tries to rebuild the French-German philosophical debates of the 80s. The arrival of the French thinking of Derrida, Foucault, Lacan, Althusser, among others, yielded the bipolarity assimilation-rejection in the German philosophy. We hold that such bipolarity is a product from the rejection or integration of the same German traditions that the French authors possess. In that way, the works of Manfred Frank about the French thinking are key to understand both the French-German debate and its derivations in the discussions about: modernity-postmodernity, Subject-No-subject, deconstruction-hermeneutics and rationality-irrationality. Such that, we first introduce, from the reconstructions of Allan Badiou and Gary Gutting, some characteristics from the French thinking that allow us to understand the assumptions Frank criticizes. Secondly, we point which are the critics that Frank did on the French thinking through the recovery of the Romantic Esthetics, in particular, of the concept of romantic individuality that could derive from the hermeneutics of Friedrich Schleiermacher. Finally, we propose to acknowledge two derivation that arose from the reception of the Post-structuralism of the works of Frank.Bibliografía: páginas 65-67
